Behind the couch, behind the TV, under the stairs... If there's a small, hard-to-get-to space, I guarantee the cat toys will end up there. Especially if they're ping-pong balls (which mine love to chase and bat around).

This is an example of survivorship bias, you only notice the cat toys because they got lost in hard-to-access places. The cat also can't get it out of there on its own, so if it gets stuck there just once, it stays there.

I tried to use pool noodles to block off spaces under the couch. The thin ones were too small. The big ones too big. Idk what the solution is.

I ended up using a door snake to block off the TV cabinet, but don't have a solution for the other spaces either!
